Harlan Coben star’s “riveting” thriller with ‘Jackson Lamb-style’ detective finally gets UK air date

by

The dystopian thriller Curfew, featuring Sarah Parish (known for her roles in Stay Close and Cutting It), will now air on Channel 5 after initially being available on Paramount+ in the UK in 2024.

Kiersey Clemons stars as Detective Pamela Green, a seasoned officer who arrives first at the scene of a shocking murder. She’s teamed up with Eddie, a new recruit played by Mitchell Robertson, to solve the case. Their investigation takes place in a city where all men are under a strict overnight curfew and monitored with ankle tags – a measure supposedly taken to protect women.

This six-episode series is based on Jayne Cowie’s novel, After Dark. The cast also features Mandip Gill (known from Doctor Who), Lucy Benjamin (EastEnders), Anita Dobson (Doctor Who), Bobby Brazier (EastEnders), Larry Lamb (Gavin and Stacey), and Alexandra Burke.
